Important notice to homeowners, builders and contractors The Frederic Township Building Department Inspector, in accordance with the Code of the State of Michigan and the Ordinance of the Township of Frederic, must inspect all building projects in the logical and sequential order in which they are listed below: 1. Footing Inspection: After footings are formed & before concrete is poured. Basement requires footing inspection and basement wall inspection which is done after the blocks are laid and before backfilling. 2. Rough Inspection: Before walls are enclosed or insulated. Rough inspections by mechanical, plumbing and electrical inspectors must be complete and documented. 3. Final Inspection: When construction is complete and before building is occupied. Final inspections by mechanical, plumbing and electrical inspectors must be complete and documented. A Certificate of Occupancy must be issued before building is occupied. The permit holder has the responsibility to ensure that inspections are made when required and should inform any contractors involved of the inspection requirements. The Frederic Township Building Inspector will make every effort to inspect your project in a timely manner. However, if it is not possible to inspect upon your immediate request and within your immediate time schedule, it does not mean that you may continue building. To continue building beyond an inspection level, prior to that inspection, will cause a STOP WORK order to be placed on your building project until that inspection can be properly performed. I have been informed of the above state Inspection Policy. Permit Holder's Signature Date
